Open Source Fiction

Origin and Goal

I started using the Creative Commons License with the release of mybook, Shine like Thunder. The experience was a little empty for me.
The text was available, but so much about the world was still walled off
from my readers.

I am building a core story (previously
known as a novel) and inviting everyone who loves it, me (or both!) to
help create as I write, and help build a multimedia creative
experience (Open Source | Timeless).

I decided to not only share the core story as I write it, but since I
am a Scifi/Fantasy writer, to make my notes available as well.

The goal is to encourage artist, musicians, filmmakers, vidders,
writers, and game designers to play with the world in a free to play
sort of a way. I am open to licensing the worlds to "for profit"
ventures, but I thought the community should benefit from any "for
profit" work.

Governance Philosophy

I will post draft and finished versions of the core setting and story
to dashPunk. These will be free to read online, and pay to download
(once they are out of draft) via Scribd, Amazon, and any other retailer
we choose to make them available through.

The project is open to all non-commercial ventures, and I will be
linking to those projects as I learn about them. Nothing will be added
to the core story from outside contributors until an agreement is made
between their creator and dashPunk Media.

How it works

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes part in the Project, here is what we are doing:

We will post the core content on dashPunk under a Creative Commons License.

You can play with the worlds, producing your own creative works under the license.
